The four girls, Ino, Temari, Hinata and Kin, strut into the halls, walking toward their classes.

"Bye guys." The girls smiled at Hinata and Hinata broke off to Math class. She walked shyly in and sat down in a random seat next to someone, in the back to the left.

"Hi Hinata…" Hinata felt her face growing bright red and she turned to him.

"Ah… Hello Naruto." Hinata replied, smiling lightly at him. She resisted the urge to say Kun after his name, but that would mean she 'liked' him, and she didn't want people knowing she liked a Rebel.

Naruto smiled lightly at her, and then began writing down some of the equations on the board.

Hinata took his lead and began writing also, not really focusing.

"Hinata… Hinata…" A loud bang made Hinata look up as her math teacher, Anko, dropped her books in front of her.

Hinata blushed; she had been gazing at Naruto.

"Yes?" Hinata asked quietly.



"What is the answer to question seventeen?" Anko snapped, and arms crossed over her chest with an irritated look at Hinata.

Hinata looked down, wondering what she wrote to find that her page was empty. "Ah-"

"The answer is 72."

Hinata looked over at Naruto, sending him a look of gratitude. Naruto smiled back at her.

Anko glared at both of them, and Hinata thought the Math teacher was going to argue, but turned and walked back to the front of the class, writing out their homework.

When Anko wasn't looking, Hinata touched Naruto on the arm and smiled. "Thank you so much." She whispered.

Naruto gave her a small smile, then wrote down the homework and turned back to her. He smiled, scratching his neck. "You're welcome; it wasn't that much of a deal anyway." He said.

Second period, after Hinata and Naruto's flirty math class; Hinata was opening her locker, checking her hair when Ino appeared behind her. Hinata yelped and dropped her brush.

Hinata dove for the brush and scooped it up and gave Ino a startled look. "Yes?" She asked nervously, brushing her short hair.

"So you were talking with Naruto?" Ino asked, staring her down with her bright blue eyes.

Hinata shifted uncomfortably. "I guess…" She muttered, keeping her pretty eyes at the ground.

"Well, stop." Ino snapped and suddenly Temari and Kin appeared next to her. Hinata wanted to disappear; it was bad enough Ino knew, but Temari and Kin? Who else knew?

"No one else knows, but they may. Stay away from those Rebels, and we won't tell." Temari said, reading her friends mind.

Hinata looked at her dark purple high heeled sandals and nodded. "Okay…" She said quietly.

Kin smiled. "Good." She said, and the other three left.



Hinata sighed, pushing her brush into her locker, grabbing her books and heading to second period, English.

"I head you were talking with Hinata."

Naruto groaned, being cornered by most of the Rebels, except for Gaara, Neji, Kankuro, Shikamaru, and Lee who were busy being lazy.

"Oh come on, she sat next to me in math, no big deal." Naruto said, trying to dodge past Tenten who was blocking his way.

Sakura poked Naruto in the side. "FLIRTING EQUALS BAD!" She snapped, wanted to hit him because of his stupidity.

Naruto pushed her fingers away. "I GET IT SAKURA EQUALS ANNOYING!" He said smugly.

Sakura put her hand to his neck and gave him a hard push on his pressure point. Naruto winced and pulled her hand away. "Okay, OW!" Naruto groaned, rubbing his neck.

Shino sighed. "Just stay away from Hinata. Actually, stay away from all of the Popular's." He said, pulling his round black sunglasses over his eyes.

Naruto nodded. "Whatever." He said quietly, and then walked down the hallway.

Naruto mumbled something about crappy and sucky friends, when he was bumped down and fell on his butt. He heard laughter and he turned bright red. He looked to see who he had fallen against, to find Hinata, a dazed look on her face, sitting, on the cold marble floor of Konoha High School.

Naruto frowned and stood up, taking Hinata's hand and pulling her up.



"Sorry…" Naruto said shyly and he saw a bit of color seeping onto Hinata's cheeks.

Both seemed to look around before Hinata grabbed Naruto and pulled him into a random classroom, actually, into a random janitor's closet.

Hinata sighed, leaning against the tall stacked boxes on the back of the closet. "Naruto…" She took a deep breath, and then let out her feelings in one burst. "I really like you, but we can't be together." She said quickly. "All of my friends don't like me flirting with a Rebel, and it would ruin my Popular status, making me an outcast. I can't be an outcast; I've been a Popular since I came here in second grade. I'm sorry Naruto, but our love can never be…" She then thought of something. He had never said he loved her! She almost slapped herself, but kept two index fingers together, pushing lightly against each other.

Naruto took in every word, then smiled, leaned forward, took her head in his hands, and kissed her.

Hinata turned a bright shade of her red and Naruto could feel her heating up. Naruto smiled and leaned back. "Is that an answer for you?" He asked, as if he had been reading her mind.

Hinata blushed and nodded sheepishly, still shocked by the kiss. "Ah… um…" She stuttered, glancing around nervously. She thought Naruto was going to kiss her again, but Naruto waited for her to answer.

Hinata then nodded. "Yes, that's a great answer." She said with a small smile, she then turned straight faced and she could hear Naruto's heart breaking. "But we can't be together Naruto, you're friends don't want you to be friends with me, and I can't be friends with you. Our social lives will be ruined… "She whispered, feeling Naruto take her hands.

Naruto kissed her gently again. "I know… But who says we can't be together behind their backs?" He grinned mischievously.

Hinata frowned, feeling his heart being taped back together. "But… What if we get caught?" She asked.



"We can see each other in the hallways, and after school. We'll make sure no one knows." Naruto promised.

Hinata thought it over, and she was so blinded by love that she couldn't figure out the flaws in the idea. "Okay." She whispered, kissing him, and then walked out of the closet. She waved him goodbye, then disappeared down the hall.

Naruto leaned back. "Hinata…" He whispered, and then left dreamily for his net class.

During the rest of the day, Hinata and Naruto seemed to be the day dream king and queen and didn't seem to notice that their friends were getting suspicious. They ignored the questions and comments directed behind their backs by picturing the girlfriend/boyfriend, and each didn't notice it when Sakura said and Shikamaru were coming over to Naruto's house at six to study for the Art test that Tayuya had given them. She wasn't called unfair art teacher for nothing.

A knock at Naruto's door at exactly 6:00.

No answer by 6:09.

One more knock at the door at 6:10.

No answer by 6:30.

Sakura groaned, digging around the orange and yellow rug that said WELCOMEin big fancy letters, and pulling out a bunch of the same looking keys. Naruto probably went to sleep and forgot that they were coming over. He seemed really out of tune today.

Shikamaru groaned, holding his books and Sakura's. "This is so troublesome…" The board 15 year old genius said.



"Shut up." Sakura groaned, trying to fit the right key into the hole.

"Naruto probably forgot… This is so troublesome." He said.

Sakura rolled her eyes, ignoring him.

"This is so trouble-"

"OH SHUT UP!" Sakura snapped, rolling her eyes and finding the right key, pushing it into the lock and turning the key, walking inside Naruto's house and walking into the living room.

"This is so… HOLY!" Shikamaru explained, dropping the books, watching Hinata and Naruto kiss on the floor, they're books between them.

Hinata and Naruto immediately jumped away from each other, staring at the two.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?" Naruto snapped, glaring, hands balled into fists.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING KISSING THAT BITCH?" Sakura asked, raising a fist to match his.

Shikamaru sighed. "You guys are so troublesome…" He said and winced as Sakura tried to hit him, missing by an inch because he crouched down to grab one of his pencils.

"HOW DARE YOU CALL HER A BITCH?" Naruto growled.

"SO YOU'RE THE BITCH WHO CALLED ME A BITCH! SO BITCH, IT TAKES A BITCH TO KNOW A BITCH, SO SHUT UP BITCH!" Hinata snapped, glaring.

"DID YOU JUST CALL ME A BITCH?" Sakura growled, about to punch Hinata.

"Yeah, I did!" Hinata said and Naruto grabbed Sakura, holding her back.



"Troublesome people you guys are." Shikamaru sighed, and no one noticed him as he left back for his house, yawning and thinking about going to sit at one of the benches the next day and watch the clouds with Chouji like they always did on Thursdays, except it was Monday.
